Rosario’s North

Press spacebar to see more share options.

The same menu is shared by this and the Southtown location, but we think the kitchen (and service) here edges out the original, so trek a bit north of Loop 410 to find your favorite interior Mexican dishes: fish tacos, ceviches, carne asadas, and other sizzling platters of meats and shellfish. We were particularly impressed with enchiladas mexicanas, with a rich, near-mole-type sauce of pasilla and guajillo chiles sweetened with a bit of orange juice. But you can also go modern (or is it ancient?) with a quinoa-stuffed chile relleno. Yes, the place is loud, with lively music, lots of hard surfaces, and tables wrapped around a central bar, but it’s just the right amount of mayhem to make for a party.
